"Abiding Neither in Samsara nor in Nirvana" feat. Samantabhadra「不住生死，不入涅槃」 feat. 普賢菩薩

[tibetanthangkapaintings]

The resting mind and the moving mind are the union of emptiness and luminosity. We perceive differences due to our confusion. Stillness does not obstruct motion, and motion does not obstruct stillness. They are simply one inseparable entity.

~ Thrangu Rinpoche

[Thangka art is not signed and the artists, sometimes working alone or sometimes in a small group or school, remain unknown. Some of their work takes years to complete. The staff atop an elephant, it is likely the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra (on many Zen altars, Manjushri and Samantabhadra are to either side of the Buddha)]

“So what will happen to your consciousness? Your consciousness, yours, not anyone else's. Well, what are you? There's the point. Let's try to find out. What is it about you that you have always known as yourself? What are you conscious of in yourself? Your kidneys? Your liver? Your blood vessels? No. However far back you go in your memory, it is always in some external active manifestation of yourself that you come across your identity—in the work of your hands, in your family, in other people. And now listen carefully. You in others—this is your soul. This is what you are. This is what your consciousness has breathed and lived on and enjoyed throughout your life—your soul, your immortality, your life in others. And what now? You have always been in others and you will remain in others. And what does it mater to you if later on that is called your memory? This will be you—the you that enters the future and becomes a part of it.”

― Boris Pasternak, Dr Zhivago
